Research informants were obtained using purposive sampling technique involving 6 individuals consisting of liquid waste management implementers, head of departments, and installation heads, as well as parties involved in liquid waste supervision. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, document analysis, and field observations. Findings indicate the need to enhance the competency of Environmental Health Installation personnel in managing liquid waste. The management of liquid waste is expected to comply with the Standard Quality Control of Liquid Waste Management. Periodic monitoring of the physical, chemical, and microbiological quality of liquid waste is necessary.
